Hello guys. I am in this section because I need you. I should get a digital piano. I play both classical music, like Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninov, but I mostly play a lot of jazz and progressive rock. It also needs to be considered that I am trying to found a band or I might go around venues doing piano bar, so this piano must sound good, have an excellent touch, and be portable (no stand, in short, a Chinese X-stand will do fine XD).
I would need some proposals and some advice. Possibly some proposals within a maximum of 1000 Euro and others instead up to 5000-6000 Euro (it all depends on whether we manage to carry out the crowdfunding campaign or not). So, do you accept this difficult case?
So, if you need a multi-purpose stage piano with an excellent sound engine, you have to go with Nord. You'll have to put in 500 euros more and push towards 1500 to get a Clavia Nord Piano 88.
So a Clavia Nord Piano 88 would be the best choice? There are essentially 3 sounds that interest me: acoustic piano, Rhodes-style electric piano and harpsichord
I am not sure that the electric piano sounds are Rhodes, actually I don't think so. I believe the Rhodes sound is even covered by copyright. The harpsichord should be there. Go try it. I was very impressed by the piano sound, which is truly beautiful.
The emulated Rhodes sound on the clavia is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful among the various ones I have heard. Even Kurzweil is not bad, though; I would say both sound good
I have a Nord Piano II and I must say that I am not very satisfied: through headphones it sounds very good, but when connected to external amplification (I have tried several) it loses a lot, especially on acoustic pianos; the Rhodes and Wurlitzer, however, are very beautiful. Perhaps the best thing is to try it and evaluate according to your own taste.
